Abstract

A new series of linearly extended tetrathiafulvalene analogues with thienothiophene and dithienothiophene π-conjugating spacers has been synthesized. Electronic absorption spectra present a vibronic fine structure typical for rigid conjugated systems. Investigation of the electrochemical behaviour of the new donors by cyclic voltammetry reveals the successive generation of stable radical cation and dication species. The crystallographic ...
